Kyle O’Quinn 16 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (10/20/2018)

Kyle “Irish Black Santa” O’Quinn: is he the next Lavoy “My Boy” Allen for the Pacers?

I’m not very good at coming up with player comparisons (my excuse is that I know too many players and it’s too much information to sift through), but I feel like this one isn’t the worst one I’ve ever come up with. Here’s a quick rundown of their similarities:

-They both are power forward/center types
-They both can pick-and-pop midrange jimboes all day, every day, with reasonably good accuracy
-They both play(ed) for the Pacers (you can tell I’m running out of items for my list)
-They both are a little bit beefier than maybe you would like
-They both will get DNP’s from time to time
-They both only get to start when there are multiple injuries to players at their position(s)

Hey! That’s not a bad list. And don’t think I’m clowning on Irish Black Santa by comparing him to longtime scrub Lavoy Allen, who is now out of the league. I loved Lavoy. He was My Boy. For real. I know that sarcasm is hard to convey on the internet, but I am 100% not being sarcastic right now. I would take Lavoy Allen on the Bucks right now and I would cut Thon Maker to do it.
